The Indie Valentine's Day Playlist

Love is in the air

The Indie Valentine's Day Playlist
Retriever Staff

If you’re anything like me, you create multiple playlists for different events or holidays. It sets the mood for whatever occasion is happening. Whether you’ve got a partner or are flying solo this valentine’s day, feel the love with music!

1. Sucre: “Persuasion”

This is one of the sweetest love songs. Sucré’s Stacy Dupree-King has a voice that makes it sound like an affectionate lullaby.

2. Wild Child: “Darling Divine”

A delicate, folkish love song of a sort of unrequited love.

3. Hozier: “Like Real People Do”

This song is definitely made for a Valentine’s playlist. Both the lyrics and style give off the essence of love.

4. Vampire Weekend: “Everlasting Arms”

Although ‘Everlasting Arms’ is presumably a reference to protection from God, who says it can’t be taken as a sort of love song?

5. Børns: “Electric Love”

An upbeat jam about love’s powerful electricity.

6. Saint Motel: “Cold Cold Man”

This song was made for dancing. Saint Motel gives love in this song by repeating “you’re the only one worth seeing, the only place worth being, the only bed worth sleeping’s the one right next to you.”

7. In the Valley Below: “Lover”

A statement of truth in love; In the Valley Below sings “I won’t be the kind of lover who takes your hand and holds another, I won’t be the kind of lover who takes your hand and holds you under.”

8. Brandon Flowers: “Still Want You”

No matter what occurs in this world, good or bad, Brandon Flowers will still want his love.

9. Father John Misty: “True Affection”

Father John Misty, you have our hearts. He wants a true conversation without “all these strange devices.”

10. Coast Modern: “Guru”

Coast Modern loves their “guru” and the distance will never come between their love.

11. Fitz & the Tantrums: “Out of My League”

A lighthearted ode to their lover who is “more than just a dream.”

12. Judah & the Lion: “Take It All Back”

A folk pop song, Judah & the Lion would “take it all back just to have [their love].”

13. Passion Pit: “Where the Sky Hangs”

Passion Pit is caught up in the heartstrings of his love; he has feelings of love run deep.

14. The Avett Brothers: “I and Love and You”

This is a beautiful song, and it’s not the typical love song; the narrator has trouble in saying those three words.

15. Lord Huron: “Fool for Love”

A soft song, Lord Huron proves that they would do anything for their love.

16. The Paper Kites: “Bloom”

A charming, calming song about The Paper Kites’ love; their love is their world, and they just want to be close to their love.

17. The Black Keys: “Howlin’ For You”

The Black Keys aren’t hiding anything; they are professing their attraction and love for someone.

18. Haim: “Honey & I”

Haim doesn’t need to think about any past lovers; they are perfectly happy with their honey.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
